Overview of functions

Network video server

The VIP X1600 is a network video server for up to 16 independent video chan-nels in four VIP X1600 modules. It is primarily designed for encoding video and control data for transfer over an IP network. Audio signals can also be transmit-ted to compatible units with the audio versions of the VIP X1600 modules. The use of existing networks means that integration with CCTV systems or local networks can be achieved quickly and easily.

The VIP X1600 offers a 2/3 D1 or 2CIF resolution at a complete image rate of 25 (PAL) or 30 (NTSC) images per second for up to 16 channels.

The VIP X1600 modules are designed for installing in the VIP X1600 base. Installing the units is a quick and easy operation that does not require any addi-tional tools. With the exception of the module in slot 1, all modules are hot swap-pable and can be exchanged while the system is running.

Receiver

Compatible MPEG-4 enabled hardware decoders such as VIP XD can be used as receivers. Computers with decoding software installed, such as VIDOS, or computers with the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser can also be used as receivers.

Video encoding

The VIP X1600 uses the MPEG-4 video compression standard. Thanks to effi-cient encoding, the data rate remains low even with high image quality and can also be adapted to local conditions within wide limits. In this manner, the simul-taneous coding of all 16 video channels is supported.

Dual Streaming

Dual Streaming allows the incoming data stream to be encoded simultaneously according to two different, individually customized profiles. This feature creates two data streams per camera that can serve different purposes, for example one for recording and one optimized for transmission over the LAN.

Product description Bosch Security Systems | 2006-03 | V2.0

EN | 14 Installation and Operating Manual | VIP X1600

Multicast

In suitably configured networks, the multicast function enables simultaneous real-time video transmission to multiple receivers. The UDP and IGMP V2 pro-tocols must be implemented on the network for this function.

DVR

The VIP X1600 can be used as a digital video recorder for long-term recordings in combination with an iSCSI server. For this, the iSCSI server can be connected directly or via the network.

Remote control

For remote control of external units such as pan or tilt heads for cameras or motorized zoom lenses, control data is transmitted via the bidirectional serial interface. This interface can also be used to transmit transparent data.

Tampering recognition and motion detectors

The VIP X1600 offers a wide range of configuration options for alarm signaling in the event of tampering with the connected cameras. An algorithm for detecting movement in the video image is also part of the scope of delivery and can option-ally be extended to include special video analysis algorithms.

Snapshots

Individual video images (snapshots) can be called up from the unit, stored on the computer's hard drive or displayed in a separate browser window in JPEG for-mat.

Backup

A function for storing the video images displayed on the hard drive of your com-puter is available on the LIVEPAGE as well as on the RECORDINGS page. Video sequences can be stored by means of a mouse click and can be redis-played using the MPEG viewer supplied as part of the scope of delivery.

Profile configuration

You can change individual parameter values within a profile and the name. You can switch between profiles by clicking the appropriate tabs.

CautionThe profiles are rather complex. They include a large number of parame-ters that interact with one another, so it is generally best to use the default profiles. Change the profiles only once you are fully familiar with all the configuration options.

NoteAll parameters combine to make up a profile and are dependent on one another. If you enter a setting that is outside the permitted range for a par-ticular parameter, the nearest permitted value will be substituted when the settings are saved.

Profile name:

You can enter a new name for the profile here. The name is then displayed in the list of available profiles in the Active profile: field.

Target data rate:

You can limit the data rate for the VIP X1600 module to optimize utilization of the bandwidth in your network. The target data rate should be set according to the desired picture quality for typical scenes with no excessive motion.

For complex images or frequent changes of image content due to frequent movements, this limit can be temporarily exceeded up to the value you enter in the Max. data rate field.

Max. data rate:

This maximum data rate is not exceeded under any circumstances. Depending on the video quality settings for the I- and P-frames, this fact can result in skip-ping of individual images.

The value entered here should be at least 10% higher than the value entered in the Target data rate field.

P-frame quality:

This setting allows you to adjust the image quality of the P-frames depending on the movement within the image. The Auto option automatically adjusts to the optimum combination of movement and image definition (focus). Selecting Man-ual allows you to set a value between 4 and 31 on the slide control. The value 4 represents the best image quality with, if necessary, a lower frame refresh rate depending on the settings for the maximum data rate. A value of 31 results in a very high refresh rate and lower image quality.

I-frame quality:

This setting allows you to adjust the image quality of the I-frames. The Auto option automatically adjusts the quality to the settings for the P-frame video quality. Selecting Manual allows you to set a value between 4 and 31 on the slide control. The value 4 represents the best image quality with, if necessary, a lower frame refresh rate depending on the settings for the maximum data rate. A value of 31 results in a very high refresh rate and lower image quality.

I-frame distance:

This parameter allows you to set the intervals in which the I-frames will be coded. 0 means auto mode, whereby the video server inserts I-frames when necessary. An entry of 1 indicates that I-frames are continuously generated. An entry of 2 indicates that only every second image is an I-frame, and 3 only every third image etc.; the frames in between are coded as P-frames.

Encoding interval:

The figure selected here determines the interval at which images are encoded and transmitted. For example, entering 4 means that only every fourth image is encoded, the following three are skipped - this can be particularly advantageous with low bandwidths.

Video resolution:

Here you can select the desired resolution for the MPEG-4 video image. The fol-lowing resolutions are available:

❚ QCIF 176 × 144/120 pixels

❚ CIF 352 × 288/240 pixels

❚ 1/2 D1 352 × 576/480 pixels

Video input

You can activate the 75 Ohm terminating resistor for each video input on the VIP X1600 module. To loop the video signal through, the terminating resistor must be deactivated. Every video input is closed at the time of delivery.

NoteThe numbering follows the labeling of the video inputs on the actual unit.

75 Ohm termination:

Select Off if the video signal is to be looped through.

Source type:

To allow video recorders to be connected as a video source, you can change the characteristic of the video source from the preset value of Camera to Video recorder. Video recorders require a more tolerant setting for the internal PLL as a result of jitter effects caused by the mechanical components of a video recorder.

NoteIn some cases, selecting the Video recorder option can lead to an im-provement in the video image even with a camera connected.

Partitioning

Four partitions can be set up for recordings of the cameras connected to the VIP X1600 module, in a similar manner to the partitioning often found on com-puter hard drives. Parameters such as size, quality and type of video recording or compression standard used can be specified for each partition. Modifying these parameters leads to reorganization, during which stored data is lost.

The unit requires a dedicated partition for the recordings of each connected camera. Each partition is linked to its own encoder or camera input: camera input Video 1 with partition number 01, camera input Video 2 with partition 02 etc. This assignment cannot be modified. As a result, all numbers are always displayed in the list, regardless of whether a corresponding partition is available or has been deleted. All four potential partitions need to be configured in order to record four cameras. Four partitions are already preconfigured in the default configuration.

All partitions are listed in the table on the page Partitioning together with their partition name, number, quality type and size.

In addition, the page provides you with an overview of the drive data; for exam-ple total memory and number of partitions created. A pie chart indicates how much memory space is partitioned for recordings.

Creating a partition

CautionModifications to the size or number of partitions lead to the entire hard drive being reorganized and the loss of all sequences stored on the drive. Consequently, you should check the recordings before any modification to the parameters mentioned and back up important sequences on the com-puter's hard drive.

NoteIf the maximum number of partitions has been set up, you can only create a new partition after deleting at least one of the existing partitions (see page 59).

Creating a new partition is performed using separate windows in which informa-tion is presented to you and you are led step by step through the necessary set-tings.

The process must be completed for each partition to be set up on the hard drive. After startup, you can select the total number of partitions to be set up. The setup process is then started as often as is necessary to configure all partitions.

NoteYou can create multiple partitions of the same type in one process. To do this, check the box Apply same settings for all new partitions in the first window.

Analysis:

Select the option On to activate the video content analysis.

As soon as the video content analysis is activated, metadata are created. Depending on the Analysis type selected and the relevant configuration, addi-tional information overlays the video image in the small window. If you have selected MOTION+ analysis, for example, the sensor fields will light up in which movement is registered.

NoteOn the Livepage configuration page, you can enable additional informa-tion overlays for the live video image too (see page 88).

Analysis type:

Select the required analysis algorithm. By default, only MOTION+ is available – this offers a motion detector and essential recognition of tampering. The current alarm status is displayed for information purposes.

NoteAdditional analysis algorithms with comprehensive functions such as IVMD are available from Bosch Security Systems.

Motion detector

For the detector to function, the following conditions must be met:

❚ Analysis must be activated.

❚ At least one sensor field must be activated.

❚ The individual parameters must be configured to suit the operating environ-ment and the desired responses.

❚ The sensitivity must be set to a value greater than zero.

CautionReflections of light (off glass surfaces, etc.), switching lights on or off or changes in the light level caused by cloud movement on a sunny day can trigger unintended responses from the motion detector and generate false alarms. Run a series of tests at different times of the day and night to en-sure that the video sensor is operating as intended.

For indoor surveillance, ensure constant lighting of the areas during the day and at night.

Sensitivity

The basic sensitivity of the motion detector can be adjusted for the environmen-tal conditions to which the camera is subject.

The sensor reacts to variations in the brightness of the video image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.

Min. object size:

You can specify the number of sensor fields that a moving object must cover to generate an alarm. This setting prevents objects that are too small from trigger-ing an alarm.

A minimum value of 4 is recommended. This value corresponds to four sensor fields.

Selecting the area

The areas of the image to be monitored by the motion detector can be selected. The video image is subdivided into 858 square sensor fields. You can activate or deactivate each of these fields individually. If you wish to exclude particular regions of the camera's field of view from monitoring due to continuous move-ment (by a tree in the wind, etc.), the relevant fields can be deactivated.

– Click Select area to configure the sensor fields. A new window will open.

– If necessary, click Clear all first to clear the current selection (fields marked red).

– Left-click the fields to be activated. Activated fields are marked red.

– If necessary, click Select all to select the entire video frame for monitoring.

– Right-click any fields you wish to deactivate.

Tamper detection

You can reveal the tampering of cameras and video cables by means of various options. Run a series of tests at different times of the day and night to ensure that the video sensor is operating as intended.

NoteThe options for tamper detection can only be set for fixed cameras. Dome cameras or other motorized cameras cannot be protected in this manner as the movement of the camera itself causes changes in the video image that are too great.

Global change %:

You can define the percentage of sensor fields that must register a change simultaneously before generating an alarm. This setting is independent of the sensor fields selected under Select area.

This option allows you to detect, independently of motion alarms, manipulation of the orientation or location of a camera resulting from turning the camera mounting bracket, for instance.

Sensitivity

NoteThis and the following parameter are only accessible if the reference check is activated.

The basic sensitivity of the tamper detection can be adjusted for the environ-mental conditions to which the camera is subject.

The algorithm reacts to the differences between the reference image and the current video image. The darker the observation area, the higher the value that must be selected.

Trigger delay:

You can set delayed alarm triggering. The alarm is only triggered after a set time interval in seconds has elapsed and then only if the triggering condition still exists. If the original condition has been restored before this time interval elapses, the alarm is not triggered. This allows you to avoid false alarms trig-gered by short-term changes, for example cleaning activities in the direct field of vision of the camera.

Scene too bright

Activate this function if tampering associated with exposure to extreme light (for instance, shining a flashlight directly on the objective) should trigger an alarm. The average brightness of the scene provides a basis for recognition.

Scene too dark

Activate this function if tampering associated with covering the objective (for instance, by spraying paint on it) should trigger an alarm. The average bright-ness of the scene provides a basis for recognition.

Scene too noisy

Activate this function if tampering associated with EMC interference (noisy scene as the result of a strong interference signal in the vicinity of the video lines), as an example, should trigger an alarm.

Reference check

You can save a reference image that is continuously compared with the current video image. If the current video image in the marked areas differs from the ref-erence image, an alarm is triggered. This allows you to detect tampering that would otherwise not be detected, for example if the camera is turned.

Multicasting

In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver (uni-cast), the VIP X1600 can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal from an encoder simultaneously. The device either duplicates the data stream itself and then distributes it to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast) or it sends a sin-gle data stream to the network, where the data stream is simultaneously distrib-uted to multiple receivers in a defined group (Multicast). For each encoder (video input) you can enter a dedicated multicast address and port for each stream. You can switch between the streams by clicking the appropriate tabs.

NoteMulticast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses the UDP and the Internet Group Management IGMP protocols. Other group management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not sup-port multicast connections.

A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for multicast opera-tion in a multicast-enabled network.

The network must support group IP addresses and the Internet Group Manage-ment Protocol (IGMP V2). The address range is from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.

The multicast address can be the same for multiple streams. However it will be necessary to use a different port in each case so that multiple data streams are not sent simultaneously using the same port and multicast address.

NoteYou must set the parameters for each encoder (video input) and for each stream individually. The numbering follows the labeling of the video inputs on the actual unit.

Multicast address video 1: to Multicast address video 4:

Enter a valid multicast address for each stream from the relevant encoder (video input) to be operated in multicast mode (duplication of the data streams in the network).

The VIP X1600 modules are designed so that their functions and parameters can be updated by means of firmware. To do this, transfer the current firmware package to the unit via the selected network. It will then be automatically installed there.

In this way, a VIP X1600 module can be serviced and updated remotely without a technician having to change the installation on site.

You obtain the current firmware from your customer service or from the down-load area on our Internet site.

CautionBefore launching the firmware upload make sure that you have selected the correct upload file. Uploading the wrong files can result in the unit no longer being addressable, in which case you must replace the unit.

You should never interrupt the installation of firmware. An interruption can lead to the faulty programming of the flash-EPROM. This in turn can result in the unit no longer being addressable, in which case it will have to be replaced.

– First store the firmware file on your hard drive.

– Enter the full path of the firmware file in the field or click Browse... button to locate and select the file.

– Next, click Upload to begin transferring the file to the unit. The progress bar allows you to monitor the transfer.

The new firmware is unpacked and the Flash EPROM is reprogrammed. The time remaining is shown by the message going to reset Reconnecting in ... seconds. The unit restarts automatically once the upload has successfully completed.

– In the address bar of your browser, after the VIP X1600 module's IP address enter /main.htm (for example 192.168.0.16/main.htm).

– Repeat the upload.

Configuration download:

You can save configuration data for the VIP X1600 module on a computer and then load saved configuration data from a computer to the unit.

– Click the Download button. The computer displays a dialog box.

– Follow the on-screen instructions to save the current settings.

Communication with terminal program

Data terminal

In the case where a VIP X1600 module cannot be found in the network or the connection to the network is interrupted, you can connect a data terminal to the VIP X1600 module for implementation and setting of important parameters. The data terminal consists of a computer with a terminal program.

You require a serial transmission cable with a 9-pin Sub-D connector to connect to the computer and open ends for connection to the terminal plug of the VIP X1600 module (pin assignment see page 118).

HyperTerminal, a communications accessory included with Microsoft Windows, can be used as the terminal program.

NoteInformation on installing and using HyperTerminal can be found in the manuals or in the online help for MS Windows.

– Disconnect the VIP X1600 from the Ethernet network before working with the terminal program.

– Connect the serial interface of the VIP X1600 module using any available serial interface on the computer.

Configuring the terminal

Before the terminal program can communicate with the VIP X1600 module, the transmission parameters must be matched. Make the following settings for the terminal program:

❚ 19,200 bit/s

❚ 8 data bits

❚ No parity check

❚ 1 stop bit

❚ No protocol

Command inputs

After the connection has been established, you must log on to the VIP X1600 module to access the main menu. Other submenus and functions can be accessed using the on-screen commands.

– If necessary, turn off the local echo so that entered values are not repeated on the display.

– Enter one command at a time.

– When you have entered a value, such as an IP address, check your input again before pressing the ENTER key to transfer the values to the VIP X1600 module.

Assigning an IP Address

Before you can operate a VIP X1600 module in your network you must first assign it an IP address that is valid for your network.

The following default address is preset at the factory: 192.168.0.1

– Start a terminal program such as HyperTerminal.

– Enter the user name service. The terminal program displays the main menu.

– Enter the command 1 to open the IP menu.

VIP X1600 | Installation and Operating Manual EN | 121

– Enter 1 again. The terminal program displays the current IP address and prompts you to enter a new IP address.

– Enter the desired IP address and press Enter. The terminal program displays the new IP address.

– Use the displayed commands for any additional settings which you require.

NoteYou must restart to activate the new IP address, a new subnet mask or a gateway address.

Restart

Briefly interrupt the power supply to the VIP X1600 for a restart (disconnect the power supply unit from the mains supply and switch on again after a few sec-onds).

Additional parameters

You can use the terminal program to check other basic parameters and modify them where necessary. Use the on-screen commands in the various submenus to do this.
